Do you want to supplement your magnesium intake with a form that is easily absorbed by your body, without paying for exotic variants? Magnesium citrate has been the standard choice for years. This NOW Foods product provides 200 mg of elemental magnesium per tablet, bound to citric acid. Two tablets give you 400 mg per day, which is 107% of the reference intake. And with 250 tablets in the pot, you have more than four months' supply in a single purchase.
Magnesium exists in many forms, and the difference mainly lies in absorption. Magnesium oxide is cheap and concentrated, but your body absorbs relatively little of it. Magnesium citrate dissolves well in your gastrointestinal tract and is therefore one of the best-absorbed forms. This is precisely why so many people choose citrate when they want to seriously supplement their magnesium intake, without paying extra for forms that, in practice, offer little more. NOW Foods uses a fully reacted citrate here: the magnesium and citrate are completely chemically bound, so it is not just a simple mixture of magnesium oxide and citric acid as in some cheaper products.
When comparing magnesium supplements, always pay attention to the word elemental. Magnesium citrate as a compound is only partially made of magnesium; the rest is citrate. A product that highlights 1000 mg of magnesium citrate therefore provides much less actual magnesium than that figure suggests. This label indicates 400 mg of elemental magnesium per 2 tablets, and it is the pure magnesium that truly matters. This way, in a single daily dose, you cover the entire reference intake, which is around 375 mg for adults. Magnesium notably contributes to normal energy metabolism and to reducing fatigue.
Take 2 tablets daily with a meal and a glass of water. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and the normal functioning of the nervous system, so many people choose to take it with their evening meal. Taking the product with food also reduces the risk of the slight laxative effect that magnesium can sometimes cause at higher doses. If you prefer to increase gradually, start with 1 tablet of 200 mg per day and increase to the full dose after one week.
Choose this magnesium citrate if you want a common, well-absorbed form, at the lowest daily price in the NOW Foods range, and if the vegan aspect is important to you: the coating and excipients are entirely plant-based. If you prefer not to swallow tablets, NOW Foods Magnesium Citrate Softgels or pure Magnesium Citrate Powder are suitable alternatives. The tablets are not made with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, or sesame. Many users keep the pot in their cupboard for months, as 250 tablets last a long time, and adjust their daily dose to what they already get from their diet. Thus, magnesium citrate remains a steady and affordable staple that you won't need to reorder anytime soon.
Two tablets provide 107% of the reference intake. The label indicates pure magnesium, not just the total salt weight.
Magnesium citrate dissolves well in the gastrointestinal tract and is one of the best-absorbed forms, without the price tag of exotic variants.
At 2 tablets per day, one bottle lasts over four months. The lowest price per day in NOW Foods' magnesium range.
Capsule and excipients are entirely plant-based. Magnesium and citrate are fully bound, it is not a simple mixture of oxide and citric acid.

Yes, citrate is one of the most absorbable forms of magnesium. It dissolves well in your gastrointestinal tract, allowing your body to utilize more of it than, for example, with magnesium oxide. This is why it has been one of the most popular forms for years.
The daily dose is 2 tablets, providing a total of 400 mg of elemental magnesium, which is 107% of the reference intake. Take them with a meal. If you prefer to start more gently, begin with 1 tablet per day.
At higher doses, magnesium can have a mild laxative effect, with citrate having a bit more than some other forms. You can limit this by taking the tablets with food and possibly spreading the dosage throughout the day.
The 200 mg refers to the elemental magnesium per tablet. The table indicates the daily dose of 2 tablets, for a total of 400 mg. Both are therefore correct; they simply refer to a different quantity.
Many people ask themselves this question. Magnesium acts as a cofactor for approximately 300 enzymes. Among other things, it contributes to normal energy metabolism, normal muscle function, and reducing fatigue.
Tablets are the vegan choice with the lowest daily price. Pure powder contains no additives and allows you to dose yourself. Softgel capsules combine four forms of magnesium and are easy to swallow, but contain beef gelatine and are therefore not vegan.
